A Note from Mal Keenan
===================================

Greetings friends,
As always a warm welcome to those of you who have joined us since our last issue of HBT Newsletter.

As mentioned last week I had been discussing with someone about the prospects of joining their affiliate program to earn even more money than I had been earning selling their service.

This had been one of those services that I hadn't been hard to convince to start selling as an affiliate program, as I had already been doing it for no rewards. This service was making me $1000s per month(Selling it) and I had already recruited a number of top affiliates, two that I know of. So why not get paid for recruiting now?

Anyway if you would like to take a look at the program that is making me so much then you can go here:

You won't find a handier way to make some cash.

Til next time

Your friend in success

FEATURE Article - How To Effectively Use Offline Advertising To Build Your Online Business
===================================

By Jeff Schuman

Copyright © 2004 Jeff Schuman

First of all let me say that having spent the past 20 years working closely with small businesses I know exactly what works when it comes to offline advertising.

What I have found today is that that online businesses have a built in advantage when it comes to promoting their business offline. You already have a website and autoresponder in place to lead your prospect to. When you combine that fact along with the traditional capture methods of telephone and snail mail there is no reason any online business can't use offline methods to build their businesses and sell their products and services.

A lot of online based businesses forget about offline advertising. I know I have. It is important to combine offline and online advertising together in your marketing campaign. This will give you to a more well rounded approach to promoting as well as attract potential prospects and customers you might not otherwise get.

In all your offline advertising you want to include your web site address, e-mail or autoresponder addresses, and your phone number and mailing address. This gives you the appearance of a real bonafide business.

Another thing is to start selling products for manufacturers who offer co-op advertising for promoting their products. You can read a little more about this technique in an article I wrote titled "Why Are You Wasting Free Advertising Money?" http://sites-plus.com/articles/article2.html

Finally you need to view offline marketing as a long term committment. I've seen businesses over and over run and ad not get the response they were looking for and quit.

This will not work offline. Or online for that matter. You need to establish a budget and stick to it. That doesn't mean that you can't change the ad copy if your response is marginal. It just means if you are going to run classified ads for example that you run them for a period of time and allow them to do their job.

Here are 10 offline marketing ideas. Use as many of these as possible to move your business forward.

-Classified Newspaper Ads- Place classified ads in newspapers. Local newspapers often have great advertising rates that you can take advantage of to promote your business. Here's a great source for running classified ads. http://www.nationwideadvertising.com

-Put up flyers. They could be in computer stores, libraries, restaurants, car windshields, or anywhere you shop that allows flyers.

-Direct mail. A nice direct mail piece when done consistently over a period of time can bring tremendous exposure for your business. The biggest benefit of direct mail is it allows you to reach thousands of people at a bulk mail rate. You could not do this if you had to mail each piece individually.

-Buy time on cable T.V. It is surprisingly affordable and if you commit to a block of advertising you can develop Top Of Mind Awareness. TOMA is being there when they want or need you. If you are an affiliate or in an MLM consider doing group advertising and spreading the cost out over several of you. You can have leads routed into one phone number and divied out to all advertisers or have each ad display a different phone number.

-Pass out your CD-ROM or diskette business cards at special events. It could be at trade shows, seminars, fairs, etc.

-Get 250 free business cards here and leave them everywhere you go. http://www.vistaprint.com

-Hold a free offline class and teach people how to use their computer or how to use the internet. You could have your web site on display as an example.

-Give away promotional items such as free mouse pads. Put your advertising on the mouse pads and give them away at computer or internet events.

-Advertise in card decks. The card deck you advertise in should be targeted toward internet users.

You would also want to target your offline advertising to groups of people that will actually be interested in your product or service. If you're selling business books, you will want to market to business owners.

In conclusion, if you have a business that's only based online using offline advertising to make money online is a great idea because so many people today go online to get information about products and services they are interested in.

Re-Format Your Emails

As many different email software is different in it's display of your message it is also best to format your email to around 60 characters. That's what I do with mine which create a neat message without ugly line breaks and half sentences.

I found this neat little tool for formatting your messages to the right line length and have been using it for quite a while now:

Hope you find some use for this.

SUCCESS ARTICLE - Your Own Worth Should be Worth Success
===================================

By DeAnna Spencer

Copyright © 2004 DeAnna Spencer

Read these four simple steps that reveal how to get into the habit of being persistent. The average person can easily learn and practice these all-important steps.

1. Always know exactly what you want and allow your whole being to strive, without wavering, to follow the path to fulfilling your plan.

2. Design a good plan and don't let it lie dormant for any waking moment.

3. Develop the ability to turn away, avoid and become oblivious ever you encounter negative thoughts, influences and suggestions.

4. Associate yourself with those who know and will support you in your decision to carry on. Support is a great "picker-upper".

HOW MUCH IS A GOOD ALIBI WORTH?

If I only had enough money... If I only had more time... If other people only understood me... If I had no fear, what would they say... If I was only given a chance... If I only had the talent to do what I want to do... If I dared to stand up and assert myself... If my family only understood me... If I could just get started... If someone would just give me a break... If I only knew where to find out all about it... If I knew how, everything would be so easy... If good luck came my way, I'd be rich... If more people would only listen to me... If I had the right education... If I had been given a better chance... If I could meet the right people... If I didn't have to take care of the house and kids If I had someone to help me, I could get started... If only I had the personality to start a business... If I didn't owe so much money... If I only knew how to do it... If I were sure of myself, I would start tomorrow... If I had a business of my own, I'd have it made.

IF... you're truly a sincere person... do you really have the courage to see yourself as you really are?
